Bhola Nath Mitter vs Emperor on 3 January, 1924

It was contended on behalf of the assessee that the said item was restricted and limited to the articles specifically mentioned there. The High Court construed the said item and held that the word "namely" had various shades and meanings depending on the context and the intent in which it was used. Following Stroud's Judicial Dictionary, 3rd Edition and Webster's International Dictionary it was held that the word "namely" meant "including" or "by name" or "that is to say" and that in the description of goods, the articles mentioned after the word "namely" were meant to be illustrations of the goods intended to be included in the general description of electric lighting fittings and were not exhaustive. The High Court noted that in Bhola Prasad v. Emperor reported in AIR 1942 FC 17 where the Federal Court held that the expression "that is to say" only explained and illustrated but did not limit the words preceding the expression. It was held that electric lamp holders were eligible to duty under the said item.
